How Kurt Can Help You Bring Your Die Casting Supply Chain Back to the U.S.A.
In today’s rapidly shifting global economy, more manufacturers are rethinking their supply chains and choosing to bring production back to the United States—a movement known as reshoring. Whether it’s due to rising overseas costs, supply chain disruptions, or a renewed focus on quality and innovation, reshoring has become a strategic imperative for many companies.
At Kurt Die Casting, we’re proud to be a trusted partner, helping businesses successfully reshore their die casting and machining parts programs. We’ll help you make the transition seamlessly, efficiently, and profitably. Kurt’s Complete Part Solutions allow us to provide design, casting, machining, finishing and inventory management all under one roof, allowing us to be a competitive alternative to foreign sourcing of parts.

Why Reshore Die Casting Parts Programs?
Overseas manufacturing once promised low costs and high-volume output, but today’s reality tells a different story. Here are some of the top reasons companies are now considering U.S. Suppliers for their diecasting needs
- Supply Chain Resilience: Shorter, domestic supply chains reduce the risk of delays and disruptions.
- Improved Quality Control: U.S. manufacturing standards and oversight lead to higher, more consistent product quality. Learn more about Kurt Quality ->
- Reduced Total Cost of Ownership: When factoring in logistics, communication, lead times, and rework, reshoring can often result in cost savings.
- Speed to Market: Domestic production enables quicker response times and more agile development cycles.
- Sustainability: Local sourcing reduces carbon emissions and supports more sustainable business practices.
- Intellectual Property Protection: U.S. laws provide stronger IP protections compared to many overseas environments.
